Apologies for posting but i have not found anything useful after searching etc.
I keep getting the above message when trying to mount my HOX as a disk drive and the computer keeps asking me to insert a disk into drive...... I am on the Venom Rom and wanted to copy over a few pics i have prepared for the app drawer etc. I did not have this problem on Insert Coin 7.3.0.
many thanks:cyclops:
Turns out it was something i restored on Titanium Backup that ****ed it up!!! full wipe install and all good
Guess its back to Insert Coin then lol!!!!!
I have searched even further and this apparently could be down to facebook app or calendar or gmail so i am stumped as to why this is preventing me from mounting as disk drive!!!!
i rooted and installed a custom rom on my mates phone before, then restored a backup.
it ****ed it up completely.(ended up wiping it and reloading)
after that i don't bother with backup/restore, it just makes things worse.
maybe people have had good experience with restoring stuff, but not me, i'd recommend against restoring stuff. (mostly the apps and the app data)
one question: have you disabled any apps? try re enabling and then try again. sometimes disabling the wrong app can cause these sort of errors.
edit: just remembered you fixed it ignore above question.,..
thanks for your reply mate, fixed it with full wipe, looks like Titanium restored something which royally c#nted things up for me!!!
No work

What did you wipe and how you did? I´m having a similar problem. The syncronization fails on some accounts, then it´s impossible to open facebook, whatsapp, calendar, even the music app can´t find any music.
What should I doconfused:
I'm in 9.7.2 ARHD.
I had the same issue and a full wipe fixed it.
I had LauncherPro running and used Titanium backup to freeze it. Now I cant use my Note coz it just keeps telling me that the TouchWiz is stopped and then the screen blacks out. Cant even get to Titanium Backup to unfreeze it.
Please help to either unfreeze or to reset in some way back to anything that works.
You could try installing another launcher via the play store website. It'll get pushed to your phone providing it's got a network connection.
I'm not sure if you can unfreeze an app via adb, if so you could give that a go.

cant go to playstore or anything else on the note. can't change home screens, cant open an app either. can only use the hardware button to shut down. the touch screen is giving a stopped message when i unlock after boot and when I ok the message the screen blacks out. the message comes back in a few seconds but I can only ok the message and then the screen blacks out. CLOSED LOOP.
I meant go to the play store on a PC, it will get pushed to your phone over the air.

I deleteed TouchWiz launcher with Titanium and now I don't have any FCs or problems with my Nova Prime launcher.
The white LauncherPro installed over the air from my pc but it didnt help as I dont have a way to activate it on my Note. Would need to see the screen to go into settings to activate it.
I'll have a look at adb even though I am quite sure it will not have the unfreeze option. Maybe I can reset to factory or similar.
Any other ideas are welcome.
It should have detected a new launcher and given you the option to select it, try something like GoLauncher (different from Launcher Pro you installed).
I'm still trying to think of ways to do it without resorting to wiping the phone.
If I do I'll let you know.

Just use odin to flash a stock rom. Or wipe your phone from the recovery.

You can just reflash the to stock again.
i tried the go launcher and it worked fine but the ended up with google play and titanium backup missing among the installed apps so couldnt unfreeze LauncherPro and the if selected TouchWiz was still messed up. I finally gave up used adb to reboot into cwm and reset to factory.
Really confusing the TouchWiz is still an issue after the reset. and can't do any action on the phone. Looks like I will have to flash back to stock unless somebody can come up with something else otherwise please point me to where i can find the stock rom and flashing instructions.

I had a similar problem as the OP and though this thread didn't really help me, I figured I'd post what wound up working for me.
For starters, I was going to follow what was recommended on the Titanium Backup FAQ Item#21:
titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html#frozen-too-many-apps-now-cant-use-device-to-launch-TB
However, I wasn't in front of my computer and I didn't want to be phone-less all day, so I tried to find some work around to get where I could unfreeze the important apps in TB.
My main problem was that I couldn't access any apps due to the fact that the home page would immediately fail and give me the "Touchwhiz Home has stopped working" error.
I still had partial access to the phone in that I could still access the pull-down menu.
Blocking mode was enabled so it showed up in the pull-down menu and I could click on it and then get into my phone settings.
I tried going through settings to get to TB and while I could get to the Application Manager, I couldn't directly launch it from there. I force-closed TB and rebooted the phone...big surprise, nothing changed.
I figured wiping Dalvic was worth a shot too (from CWM), but that didn't have much of an effect either (though it did force an app update on reboot).
Anyway, since I still had access to the pull down menu and notifications, I decided to see if I could txt myself a link (from another phone) to the TB googleplay location since you can launch the application directly from the Play store. Well, I got the txt, but I couldn't open it due to a "messaging has stopped working" error every time I clicked on it.
Since I got the notification, I knew information was still obviously getting to my phone, so I figured I'd give it a try via gmail since it is less tied to the phone launcher than messaging.
Sure enough, I got the notification and I was able to open gmail from the notification. Clicking on the googleplay link in the email successfully launched the Playstore. From there I was able to launch Titanium Backup and unfreeze Touchwhiz Home.
Hope this helps someone else, I was really not looking forward to doing a complete wipe and re-install of my whole phone.
This simple jumping around to get to TB does obviously require that you can access your notifications and that you have them turned on...otherwise you're still screwed.
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom Rom on, just Reinstall the Rom again without wiping anything through recovery. It will bring back the touchwiz launcher without touching your data. It might reset your app settings back at least all your contacts, messages, etc will still be there.

I just went through this. And maybe this will help the next person searching for a solution.
I froze touch wiz in Titanium and could not boot. So I went to Google Play on my desktpop and logged in. Then installed "Smart Launcher". I had no idea if it was installing or not but on Google Play on my desktop it said "installed" so i did a battery pull and restarted into Smart Launcher. Then rebooted again to get the prompt which launcher Iwanted to use and I chose "touch wiz" and "don't ask me again"
So today I installed the latest Jedi rom onto my note 2. This is my first rom install, so excuse me if this is a newbish question. I used Rom Manager to backup, wipe, clear caches, and flash the rom. I let the phone sit for 10 minutes after the install, and when I started using it, data worked and everything. I installed Titanium Backup and restored my apps, and everything went pretty great. I had my old desktop and everything.
The only issue I have is with my google apps. Google+ and messenger will not open. It says no connection, couldn't connect to server. When I hit okay, it asks me to select an account, but upon doing so, the same error just comes up. Gmail works, but curiously, I have to update it manually to see if/when I get new emails, contrary to my settings in the application. Google now appears to work, at least when I load it up, but I don't know if it'd update on its own in the background like it normally does. I also just discovered that I can't install apps from the play store on my PC.
I tried uninstalling google+ with titanium, then reinstalling it in the market, but that didn't work. I also deleted my google account, then re added it and re synced everything, but that didn't fix it either. I tried searching the Jedi thread for "gmail" and a few other things, but didn't find any relevant info.

When you restored with TIBu did you restore apps and data or??? Did you ensure to follow the exact steps in the post?

I'd also flash manually...not using ROM Manager. Sounds like you may need to start over and make sure you don't restore any system apps or system data.

I flashed with rom manager, and I did restore app data when I restored my apps. Is there any way I can clear the particular trouble apps (g apps, and facebook I discovered as well will not give me notifications) and reinstall, or do I have to flash again?
Best thing to do is fresh install everything. I know its a pain in the ass but ive been the original tester of the jedi rom for i317/m and have yet too have any issues. Restoring through tibu does work but making sure to restore apps only.

Hmm okay, do you know what it is that I restored that screwed things up? I thought all I restored was apps. I just did one operation along the lines of 'restore all apps and app data'
I think also when I restored, it asked if i wanted to restore the device's ID or something like that, maybe that had something to do with it. It said if I restored the device ID to the original one, it would help with restored apps functioning properly.

Best thing is start from scratch! Install your apps direct from play. If you follow the directions perfectly, you should have no issues

I've run into this strange issue since yesterday - Any email app (and I've that includes GMail, Stock EMail, Cloudmagic, K9 Mail) closes automatically when I attempt to open any email. This happens only when opening an email, doing anything else on the apps is ok.
And the strange thing is that its not a FC either. It just closes. Without any Force Close error or exception. I've tried clearing the data on the apps, even removing the GMail app from system and re-installing it.
I assume it has to do something with whatever I did yesterday - I installed a couple of fonts from the Fonter Xposed module, but I had taken a full backup of all the fonts previously and restoring them isn't helping either. I've restored pretty much eveything I did, including removing Xposed and all. But the strange thing is it only occurs with email apps.
Anyone run into a similar issue in the past and have any clue? I've collected the logcat for the issue and I'm going over it, I see some NullPointerExceptions but not sure if these are relevant. I'm going through the logs in more detail right now, I'd appreciate if any other dev or someone who has run into this issue before can take a look and point something out.
If it comes down to it I'll just reflash everything, but just trying to avoid the trouble. Any help is appreciated.
<edit> Nevermind. I went through the logs, restored pretty much everything I can, cleared data, re-installed apps but couldn't resolve the issue. Can't point out exactly what caused the issue either. So I just went ahead and did a "Restore upgrade error" process from the LG PC Suite and re-rooted using Stump root. No data lost and issue resolved. Good enough. </edit>
Hi,
After a factory reset to Lollipop 5.0.2, I don't seem to have the Contacts or Phone app anymore. How can I solve this?
The background story is as follows:
I recently resat my Z1 Compact and installed Lollipop 5.0.2. Earlier I had a CyanogenMod version, but it had some annoying bugs, so I decided to go back to stock Android.
I used Titanium Backup to backup apps and user data from CM. When I tried to restore these apps and userdata in Lollipop, I got error messages all the time, saying "android.process.acore", "android.process.phone", "Phone", "Top Contacts" and "Contacts" had stopped working. Trying to get rid of these error messages, I cleared the data and uninstalled some apps related to Phone and Contacts, but the error messages kept coming.
I therefore did a factory reset again. I discovered that I did not have any contacts synced on my phone, so I tried to sync them.
It turned out I couldn't find neither the Contacts app or Phone app on my phone. It is therefore impossible to enter the settings in the Contacts app to make the phone sync contacts.
I have tried searching, but I haven't found a solution.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you may have to reflash. Did you check /system/app? Are they there? If. So, you could try clicking on base.apk, and see if they reinstall, or try to get a stock apk from another user. I'm currently not on stock ROM, so I can't. I came across this thread recently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/xperia-z3-apks-t3059426 - it's for Z3, but they might work, or maybe there's a similar thread for z1c, (I haven't seen it). Hope that helps.
Thanks for your answer.
The only relevant apps I could find in /system/app, was ContractsSIM. I'll try to find a thread with stock apps for z1c like you suggested, if not, I'll try the app from z3. If that doesn't work either, I guess I'll have to reflash again.

1. if you switch from a custom ROM back to stock always make a clean install (full wipe)
2. NEVER restore apps with Titanium Backup from CM to stock - lots of problems
Full Wipe - flash stock ROM - install all apk´s new - finish
Ok, great, I'll try that. ?
By the way, I haven't been able to reboot into recovery mode. It's like that possibility doesn't exist after I flash to stock Lollipop 5.0.2. That means I haven't been able to try to install Xposed (which I don't know if would work at all, though...). Any idea why that is, and how I could fix that?

If you flashed stock ROM via Flashtool, you no longer have root or recovery, etc., unless it was a pre-rooted ftf. You'll have to reroot, and flash recovery.
Edit- don't know if you figured it out yet or not, but. I came across this today - http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-collection-stock-files-sony-devices-t3142349
